April - July 2019 2 • 2018/19 Season April - July 2019 2 • Join us for a fascinating celebration on 8 June; leading oboist Nicholas Daniel consecrates an entire day to an instrument relatively rarely featured in chamber works but whose contemporary repertoire he has expanded significantly with commissions from leading composers. In 2016, Igor Levit simultaneously won (among others) Director’s two Gramophone Awards – the Instrumental Award as well as Recording of the Year – for his three-CD set of variations, the works he will revisit with us in May Introduction alongside Ronald Stevenson’s Passacaglia on DSCH. The American jazz pianist, composer and multimedia performer, Jason Moran, has recorded some 40 albums to date, as a soloist and member of numerous ensembles. Presenting original compositions and jazz standards, he will announce his eclectic May programme from the stage. Founded as long ago as 1975 in Budapest but resident at the University of Boulder, Colorado, since 1983, the long-revered Takács Quartet has maintained a close connection with Wigmore Hall as Associate Artists. They perform two concerts in May including works by Elgar, Haydn, Bartók and Amy Beach. On 10 and 14 May, Sir András Schiff, unquestionably one of today’s leading Bach interpreters, takes on a group of the composer’s keyboard suites published between 1726 and 1730. Students from the Royal Academy of Music’s Song Circle present a recital in April devoted entirely to the songs of Carl Loewe. Loewe performed his songs throughout Germany to great acclaim and was known as the North German Schubert, composing over 500 songs in a great variety of genres. Inspired by the heart-breaking stories of refugees which are never far from the news, vocal ensemble Stile Antico and Dartington Arts commissioned poet Peter Oswald to create texts for Dowland’s instrumental Lachrimae pavans. Based on testimonies from today’s refugees and migrants, these new poems about displacement and exile present a contemporary and deeply moving counterpoint to this exquisite music in a concert in June, all interspersed by improvised oud music from London-based Syrian musician Rihab Azar. The Armenian-American pianist Sergei Babayan offers an all-Chopin programme in June, featuring the characteristically Polish form of the mazurka in the second half and the first consisting of popular individual pieces. Hervé Niquet, the founder-director of Le Concert Spirituel, one of Europe’s most durable and expert period-instrument ensembles, leads a programme in July that simulates the musical experience of the Mass in the time of Mozart and Haydn. Solomon’s Knot makes its debut at Wigmore Hall in April with a rarely heard version of a familiar favourite; fans of the Bach Johannes-Passion unfamiliar with the 1725 version will have the pleasure of seeing (or hearing!) an old friend in a new light. Please join us for two celebrations, with the JACK Quartet performing the complete Elliot Carter quartets in April and the Jerusalem Quartet presenting the complete Bella Bartók quartets the following month, both bound to be highlights of the season as it comes to an end. • 3 Contents At a Glance 4 Calendar 8 April 10 May 33 June 59 July 85 Contemporary Music Series 104 Booking Information 108 April - July 2019 At a Glance See pages 10-103 for full details of these concerts and page 108 for booking information.

  • Eloquence Releases: Summer 2017 by Brian Wilson
    Some Recent Eloquence Releases: Summer 2017 by Brian Wilson The original European Universal Eloquence label replaced budget releases on DG (Privilege or Resonance), Decca (Weekend Classics) and Philips (Classical Favourites). Like them it originally sold for around £5 and offered some splendid bargains such as Telemann’s ‘Water Music’ and excerpts from Tafelmusik (Musica Antiqua Köln/Reinhard Goebel 4696642) and Mahler’s Das Lied von der Erde (Janet Baker, James King, Concertgebouw/Bernard Haitink 4681822). Later most of the original batch were deleted – luckily the Mahler remains available – and production switched to Universal Australia but the price remained around the same. More recently changes in the value of the £ mean that single CDs now sell for around £7.75 but the high quality of much of the repertoire means that they remain well worth keeping an eye on. Many, but not all, of the albums are available to stream or download and I have reviewed some in that form and others on CD. Be aware, however, that the downloads often cost more than the CDs and invariably come without notes – which is a shame because the Eloquence booklets are better than those of many budget labels.

  • Piotr Anderszewski Piano
    PIOTR ANDERSZEWSKI PIANO Biography Piotr Anderszewski is regarded as one of the most prominent pianists of his generation and appears regularly in all of the world's major concert halls. His collaborations with orchestra have included appearances with the Berlin Philharmonic, the London and Chicago Symphony Orchestras, the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen, which he also conducted from the piano. Recitals have taken him to the Barbican Center in London and the Royal Festival Hall, the Konzerthaus in Vienna, Carnegie Hall and the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg. His recordings include Beethoven's Diabelli Variations, which received the Choc du Monde de la Musique; the Grammy nominated Bach Partitas 1, 3 and 6 as well as a recording with works by his countryman Szymanowski. His album with solo works by Schumann received two BBC Music Magazine Awards in 2012, including the Recording of the Year. His recording of Bach's English Suites 1, 3 and 5 received the Gramophone Award for best instrumental album in 2015. After the solo album "Fantaisies" with works by Mozart and Schumann in February 2017, the Mozart Piano Concertos No. 25 & 27 with the Chamber Orchestra of Europe was recorded in January 2018. Recognised for the intensity and originality of his interpretations, Piotr Anderszewski has been a recipient of several high-profile awards over the course of his career, including the prestigious Gilmore Award, which is presented every four years to a pianist of exceptional talent. The director Bruno Monsaingeon shot two award-winning documentaries about him for ARTE. The first, from 2001, sheds light on Anderszewski's special relationship to the Diabelli Variations, while the second, “Piotr Anderszewski, Traveler Without Rest” (2008) is an artist portrait and reflects Anderszewski's thoughts on music, concert activities and his Polish-Hungarian roots.

CHARITABLE TRUST THE STRADIVARI QUARTET Xiaoming Wang Soyoung Yoon Lech Antonio Uszynski Maja Weber violin violin viola cello PROGRAM String Quartet in G minor, D. 173 FRANZ SCHUBERT Allegro con brio Andantino Menuetto: Allegro vivace Allegro String Quartet No. 4 BÉLA BARTÓK Allegro Prestissimo, con sordino Non troppo lento Allegretto pizzicato Allegro molto INTERMISSION String Quartet in A minor, Op. 51, No. 2 JOHANNES BRAHMS Allegro non troppo Andante moderato Quasi Minuetto, moderato Chamber music, as we know it, began in the Baroque era with early trio sonatas, and some of history’s greatest composers used chamber music as a vehicle to create their most profound and important works. Others used the medium as an outlet for fun and lighthearted entertainment. The music was traditionally performed in homes. The Flagler name has long been associated with great music, as Henry and Mary Lily Flagler frequently hosted musical performances in Whitehall’s elaborate Music Room. The Flagler Museum Music Series captures the spirit of traditional chamber music, and welcomes world renowned performers to the finest chamber music venue in South Florida. Here, performers and visitors can experience chamber music as it was intended in a gracious and intimate setting. Due to its intimate nature, chamber music has been described as “the music of friends.” Consequently it is frowned upon to use stages and amplifying devices. The audio devices you will see tonight record the performance for national public radio broadcast and archival purposes.

Leg: SO - 55/2016 Saluda del Alcalde Estimados amigos, estimadas amigas, Gracias por compartir un año más esta cita con la música y la cultura en nuestra Ciudad que es el Otoño Musical Soriano. Como podrán com- probar en este programa de mano, la vigesimocuarta edición de nuestro Festival refleja su carácter accesible, atractivo, completo y ambicioso que reedita la conexión mágica con ustedes, el público, verdadero artífice de que el Otoño Musical Soriano se supere año a año, convirtiéndose en uno de los principales festivales musicales a nivel europeo. Así lo atestigua el galardón “EFFE Label”, recibido el pasado año desde la Asociación Eu- ropea de Festivales como marca de calidad del Otoño Musical Soriano. A punto de celebrar 25 años de historia desde que el trabajo y el cariño del Maestro Odón Alonso hacia Soria alumbrara esta cita por primera vez, las máximas de compromiso con el talento artístico y la excelen- cia internacional están presentes desde la inauguración a la clausura gracias a la labor de su Director, el Maestro José Manuel Aceña, quien ha sabido comprender y transmitir el legado del Maestro Alonso. Sirvan estas líneas para reconocer una vez más su trabajo al frente del Festival.
